I used a decent piece (3/16") piece of nylon line, looped around both ends of the shock while it was extend and then I twisted a screw driver to tighten the loop up and control the length of the shock.

Installing it became a piece of cake. No he-man, greyskull references needed... just a small bit of grey matter. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
